Let's plan together and shape how our community grows and evolves!
The Envision Cochrane 2050 process will provide opportunities for everyone in Cochrane to have a say in how our community lives, works, plays and thrives. This process will lead to a new Municipal Development Plan to guide municipal growth, infrastructure and servicing needs and land use.
The following five themes will guide this work:
Identity: Respecting our heritage, culture and values
Livability: Ensuring access to safe, affordable housing, green space and recreation
Open Space and Natural Areas: Protecting our natural environment for future generations
Vibrant Economy: Supporting our local economy
Connectivity: Improving how we move around the community
Phase 2 Planning Cochrane's future
Thanks to everyone who provided their priorities for arts and culture, parks and open space, and economic development, as well as provided insight into what you like, and what can be improved in our downtown, neighbourhood centres and development corridors.
From pop-up engagement stations at key locations to an online survey, face-to-face conversations and interviews with community groups, Cochrane residents had many opportunities to share their input from February 15 to March 17 2024. Stay tuned for a What we heard report coming soon.
